That's more like it

By my count, the 21st attacker in the class.

Scoring by different guys. That's a huge positive! I look for Graham to have a break out year.

Need to trust the coaches in a highly competitive environment and that they're finding kids for what they will be in 2 years vs. what Inside Lacrosse is suggesting at 16. The Johnson kid is a great player and the Santillo kid has unlimited upside as well. Would be willing to bet there's a lot of diamonds in the rough, and believe that the coaches are looking for the kid that has the athleticism to develop before they arrive on campus.

Rankings are not really that far apart between the Ivy's, and what can change the ranking is landing a 5 star which can skew the final numbers. Plus, the service academies are getting higher ranked players where the education is comparable and the cost is free. New legislation will likely cap roster sizes at 48 which means you are only looking at 12 recruits or less per class based on need.

One of the best recent recruits is Ryan Goldstein who last year, like many freshman in college athletics was undersized at 5'9" and 145 lbs.   Time in the weight room and probably just natural growth he has the potential to be a super star for Cornell lacrosse.  My nephew plays for a very strong DIII program and he was pushed all over the league his freshman season, but last spring as a sophomore he scored 40 goals and 20 assists earning all conference honors.   Again he's not playing at the DI level, but just his size, strength, and overall skills skyrocketed with maturity and time in the weight room.   Go Big Red!

We have a niece playing at Army West Point (saying that is kind of like saying The Ohio State). It's a free ride. There is a 4-6 year no-cut pro contract attached.

A standard schedule -- no Ohio State, Michigan, or Notre Dame this time. I wish Cornell played Princeton in the last game of the season.
